If your kids like thrill rides (and my son certainly does) Demon Drop, the newest wild ride at Dorney Park, should be open by early June.

The 131-foot-tall ride, which simulates a free-fall drop from a 10-story building, will be the third drop-tower ride at the South Whitehall Township park and replaces Krazy Kars, a vintage bumper car ride in the park’s lower midway area.

The ride is not new and had been at Dorney’s sister park, Cedar Point in Ohio, for 25 years. It was originally headed for Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif., but Cedar Fair officials decided Dorney had more space for it.

Demon Drop will join the 170-foot Dominator drop-tower which offers riders the choice of being thrust upward or dropping downward in a free-fall.

The new ride contains six individual cars that hold four people each. The cars travel to the top of the tower in six seconds. Riders are suspended briefly, then plummet 60 feet in less than two seconds of free-fall reaching 50 mph before coming to a stop on the pull-out curve.

Dorney Park opens weekends May 1 and both the park and Wildwater Kingdom waterpark open daily May 29.Info:www.dorneypark.com.
